Bio
Matt Backer was born in Louisiana USA, in a log cabin he helped build. His parents were members of the jet set, living in Mexico, Venezuala, Belgium , The Carribean and England. They lost him in transit at Miami airport and he was raised by friendly groundstaff. Matt's university studies in both the US and UK prepared him for the life of an urban guerilla, unfortunately he couldn't spell that and he became a guitarist instead. Matt has worked live and in the studio with a wide range of artists including Matthew Sweet, Cher, Edward Ball, David Arnold, Shirley Bassey, Sinead O'Connor, ABC, Joe Cocker, Mica Paris, Stiff Little Fingers, Swing Out Sister, Aimee Mann, The Beautiful South, Steve Earle, Marcella Detroit, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Julian Lennon, Mindy McReady, Elton John, Emmylou Harris, Alice Cooper, Virginia, David McAlmont, Donny Osmond and more recently S Club 7 and Hearsay. His last Single "Right Girl, Wrong Time", reached number 1 on two US radio charts, and the title track from his current album "The Impulse Man" ("A janglesome record full of hooks and the sort of licks you wish you'd learned to play"-MOJO) is now going to radio, is on the NMW Hot AC Most Added list, and available for download on a computer near you!
